“I found FEAR to be the biggest piece of garbage I have ever read,” according to one review – of L. Ron Hubbard’s book, Fear. Yeah, this can definitely be applied to the Woodward book, too. And, here is Tammy’s latest Washington Times column on the Bob Woodward Trump-hating “fan fiction.” Tammy Bruce — Washington Times: The election that outraged liberals and made ‘Fear’ profitable Via Gizmodo. A mysterious (hilarious?) bug appeared to temporarily drag down the Amazon customer rating for Bob Woodward’s new book about the Trump administration’s first year in office. On Wednesday, reviews on Amazon for the just-released Woodward book Fearbecame intermingled, somehow, with reviews for an L. Ron Hubbard novella by the same name. A significant...

When you’ve lost CNN… Via CNN. By now, Omarosa Manigault Newman’s book “should” be the #1 best-selling book in the country. Right?…. On Monday, “Unhinged” finally cracked the top 10 on Amazon. Now it’s publication day, Tuesday, and the book is stuck at #5, behind a book about the ketogenic diet and several others. On the Barnes & Noble website, it is #4. First, let’s put that into context. Then let’s dig into why it’s not #1… — Omarosa doesn’t have “fans.” Yes, she is very well known. But not well liked. Her brand is about backstabbing, cheating, alienation. As Tyrus said on Fox Monday afternoon, “Omarosa is the most despised person in the free world.” She doesn’t have fans,...

Magnificent. They’re printing only 1000 ‘facsimiles’ of the notebook within which she wrote her masterpiece, which will likely make it quite out of reach for people like you and me, but at least we can read about it. Shelly was only 18 when she wrote ‘Frankenstein,’ btw. Amazing stuff. Via Smithsonian. Mary Shelley, as the famous story goes, first conceived of Frankenstein on a stormy night in 1816, while vacationing at the Lake Geneva villa of Lord Byron. The poet challenged his guests to “each write a ghost story,” as Shelley later explained in the introduction to her iconic novel, and she would spend the following months scribbling her tale of the “Modern Prometheus” and his monster into two large...

When University of Toronto professor Randall Hanson,who wrote Fire and Fury: The Allied Bombing of Germany, 1942-1945, realized why there was such a sudden increase in his book’s sales, he wondered: Can people really be that dumb to be confusing these books?” Um…yes.

A message on the school’s website says “To Kill A Mockingbird” teaches students that compassion and empathy don’t depend upon race or education. Holloway says other...

Amazon also slashed the price of the book, from $30 to $17, before its release. The NYT called the book a “score-setting jubilee.” Other reviews, though, were not so adoring: HT Daily Caller. “A lack of connection to America is what happened” “Was going to buy this book, but I see Amazon still has toilet paper in stock . . . so, I’ll skip this dirt cheap, pre-discounted “best seller”. “Trump Happened” “I can’t finish this book because my mind automatically voices the words on the page in HER voice. I’m certain she’s the cause of all erectile dysfunction in 2016. Avoid this book.” ” I wish zero stars was an option.” “I would rather have my eyes pecked out...

You get his autographed book, plus a “meet and greet” with the one and only Joe Biden. All for “only” $448! No word, yet, on whether getting groped by Uncle Joe is included in the fee. Via Daily Caller. Around the same time it was announced former President Barack Obama and Michelle Obama had signed a joint $60 million book deal, former Vice-President Joe Biden and his wife Jill signed a book deal of their own. While the amount the Bidens received is not known, it is undoubtedly less than that of the Obamas, but it seems “middle-class Joe” may have found a way to make up some of the difference – charging those seeking an autographed copy hundreds of...

Wow. Just wow. Via People Magazine. The chair that Harry Potter author J.K. Rowling sat in while writing the first two books of the wizardry series was sold at a New York City auction on Wednesday for $394,000, the Associated Press reports.
